After a week after the launch of the new generation of Apple mobiles and after the appearance of the first comparisons, the moment that many were waiting for has arrived. It’s time to examine the results of the iPhone 14 cameras against those of the iPhone 13 to see if the jump in quality is significant.
It is important to note that the standard version has not received such a noticeable improvement as in the case of the Pro or Pro Max model and its increase in megapixels. However, from the American company itself they affirm that the iPhone 14 sensor boasts better photographs than its predecessor, so it is time to put this to the test.
The improvements of the iPhone 14
Before delving into the core of the matter, we are going to investigate the alleged improvements that Apple has carried out in the iPhone 14 camera with the aim of subsequently checking if there are major changes. On the smartphone page itself, they specify that the lighting will now be much better due to the structure of the sensor.
That is why, according to data from the Cupertino brand itself, the photos are up to 2.5 times better in low light with the main and ultra wide-angle camera. This is due to the larger size of the sensor that, together with the opening, manages to let in 49% more light . Also, the Photonic Enfine system helps to achieve more realistic and vivid colors, as well as a more faithful texture.
Now that we know the main novelties that are in front of the iPhone 13 cameras, it is time to start with the comparison. For this we use the videos of the user Techno Arena, which we will leave below in case you want to take a deeper look.
Time of truth
First of all, we have to talk about the main camera , which in both models is 12 MP . In photographs where colors take center stage, such as in graffiti, brighter shades can be seen in the case of the iPhone 14 . This is also extrapolated to the sky, where we see a blue and white color more faithful to reality. However, the iPhone 13 also more than complies and presents a very good capture, where the colorimetry is ideal, so the resulting image does not offer notable changes beyond the color range.
The ultra wide angle sensor also adopts this improvement in terms of color brightness. Using this lens with the iPhone 14 we get mostly balanced photos where the areas with light and shadows are represented more accurately and with greater detail than the iPhone 13, especially in the distance.
As for the portraits , exactly the same thing happens as the previous ones regarding the representation of colors. The selfies obtained with the front camera are more colorful and related to reality with the iPhone 14 , which has greater lighting on the faces as you can see. On the other hand, the background blur is practically perfect in both cases, but it seems that the iPhone 13 cuts the edges more precisely.
The night results are very interesting for the user and in this sense it is important to point out that at first glance there are no substantial improvements in the new generation except for greater detail. White balance is ideal, while noise makes little if any appearance. Of course, when there are bright night scenes (with neon signs or the like) the greater brightness of the colors is palpable. Of course, using the ultra wide angle, the difference in night photos is more noticeable and the iPhone 14 takes the prize in this facet with a very striking level of detail.
When recording videos these changes in relation to detail, lighting and color are not so noticeable . In short, both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 offer good recordings in terms of balance, colorimetry and detail while boasting stability.
By way of conclusion, it must be clarified that the increase in benefits that Apple mentions with the iPhone 14 is noticeable , especially in the vividness of the colors in general terms. Regardless of this, the iPhone 13 maintains its composure and is not intimidated by these improvements, also guaranteeing high-quality photographs that do not have much to envy the new generation model. This means that the newcomer has a better camera, but it is not a determining factor when choosing between one or the other for a purchase.
